Which market/clients do you address and which short-/long-term goals do you have?
Target markets are textile dyers, cosmetics manufacturers, food and beverages, fine chemicals. Within the textile industry there is interest from cotton, wool and silk producers, denim and high-value fashion industries seeking environmentally friendlier dyes and processes. Short-term we are seeking partners in textiles and cosmetics to support testing and validation of Bluegene’s biodyes to attract match-funding and enable longer-term scale-up and supply to industry.
